President Joe Biden has reacted to the resignation of Kimberly Cheatle, now the former director of the Secret Service.
In a statement, the president says he and his wife Jill are grateful to Cheatle for her decades of public service.
“She has selflessly dedicated and risked her life to protect our nation throughout her career in the United States Secret Service,” Biden says.
He adds that “it takes honor, courage and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in public service”.
Biden says he is still looking forward to an independent review into what went wrong on 13 July, when a gunman had a clear line of view to Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania and tried to assassinate him.
Biden adds that he will be appointing a new director for the Secret Service soon
